Around 9am this morning on the junction of Bell Wharf Lane + Upper Thames Street a woman on a blue road bike and a Corporation of London skip truck had a collision. Police just arrived when I went past, woman sitting upright with a cloth to her face. Clearly awake, but ambulance was on it's way.

No idea what happened, although the cycle lane goes over Bell Wharf Lane, and I presume the truck was turning into the lane (it was half way down it sticking out onto Upper Thames Street).

Looks like the woman is ok though (I hope!)

I saw the aftermath of this from my work, which looks directly over Upper Thames St. Your description is correct. Thankfully the woman seemed okay, she was able to get up and walk into the ambulance without assistance.

Sounds like she had a very lucky escape, thankfully

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
